Overview

The coinmarket-mcp-server is a server that implements a few of the Coinmarket API endpoints. It provides a custom coinmarket:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes, each with a name, description, and text/plain mimetype. The server offers two main tools: get-currency-listings to retrieve the latest currency listings and get-quotes to fetch quotes for tokens, accepting a slug (e.g., bitcoin) or symbol (e.g., BTC) as optional string arguments. Configuration requires a Coinmarket API key. The server can be set up using Python 3.12 or higher with the uv package manager, or alternatively, run using Docker. It is primarily aimed at users who need to interact with Coinmarket API endpoints in a server environment.

Q&A

What are common pitfalls when setting up this server?

Missing or mis‑typed `uv` in PATH causes a `spawn uv ENOENT` error. Incorrect repository path or an invalid COINMARKET_API_KEY will prevent the server from starting. Verify `uv` is installed (`uv version`) and that the environment variable is set before launching.

Asked by Aaliyah Johnson · Jun 7, 2025

How do I configure the server for use with Claude Desktop?

Add a `mcpServers` entry in your Claude config pointing to the server command. For a local install, use `uv` with the repo path; for Docker, use `docker run` with the `COINMARKET_API_KEY` set. Ensure the path points to the root containing `pyproject.toml` and that the key is valid.

Which Coinmarket API endpoints does the server support?

The server implements two main tools: `get-currency-listings` to fetch the latest listings and `get-quotes` to retrieve token quotes by slug or symbol. It also exposes a custom `coinmarket://` URI scheme for accessing individual notes with a name, description, and text/plain mimetype.

What is required to run the coinmarket-mcp-server on my local machine?

You need Python 3.12 or newer and the uv package manager. After cloning the repo, set the COINMARKET_API_KEY environment variable and run `uv run coinmarket_service` from the repository root. Alternatively, you can build and run a Docker image with the key passed as an env variable.
